This is not exactly AIX limit, but JFS (1). AIX 5L with JFS2 supports up to 1 TB. Try what if you restore not to file but to raw logical volume. AIX XCOFF format promises up to 2^63 bytes file addressing limit. I cannot promise it would help but you do not have too much options which can solve the problem. And this may be workaround without upgrade. So give it a shot.
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Bert Gringhuis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 27.11.2001 11:12:04 Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: How to extract a db2-backup > 64Gb Hi, To restore our db2-db to another RS6000 (without TSM) I want to extract a DB2/TSM backup file from TSM to a filesystem, compress it, send to the other machine and restore it. With a backup to disk that works ok, because the db2 backup command splits up the file in parts of 64GB (an AIX-limit) but the db2adutl extract command tries to write beyoud the 64Gb-limit and then fails with the message 'File write failed'. Does anybody know how to handle this? DB2 v6.1 (FP8) TSM v4.1 AIX 4.3.3 Thanks Bert
